    //example of persistence infrastructure
    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged = delegate { };
    public void Load(string fileName)
    {
        Xml = XElement.Load(fileName);
        PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs("Xml"));
    }
    public void Save(string fileName)
    {
        Xml.Save(fileName);
    }
}

There are some good examples for reversed bool to visibility converter.
